apt-get install git-core

Once git is installed we will found git-http-backend under /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend. Next step is to setup the Apache configuration:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
    SSLEngine on
 
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/server.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/server.key
    SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
 
    ServerName git.example.com
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/git-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/git-access.log combined
 
    # GIT Config
    SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /opt/git/repositories
    SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL
 
    # Route Git-Http-Backend
    ScriptAlias / /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend/
 
    # Require Acces for all resources
    <Location />
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Private"
        Require valid-user
        AuthUserFile /opt/git/user.passwd
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

Now we only need to create our repositories under /opt/git/repositories (The repositories must be owned by the apache user to work):

cd /opt/git/repositories
git --bare init test.git
chown -R www-data:www-data /opt/git/repositories

And thats all, now we can checkout the repository using the url https://git.example.com/test.git:

git clone https://username@git.example.com/test.git
cd test
mkdir testdir
touch testdir/README
git add .
git commit -m 'test commit'
git push origin master

This two environment variables are usefull to avoid problems checking out your repository:

# Disable SSL Certificate verification,
# usefull with self-signed certificates
export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true

# Activates verbosity for HTTP Requests
export GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1

• Memory Usage: There isn’t a big difference between the three methods in Memory Usage (~0.002 MB)

  

After this Tests, we can see that DOM is not an optimal method for XML generation. DOM with small files needs +0.40 seconds more then XMLWriter, and SimpleXML needs only +0.08 seconds more.

With bigger files, XMLWriter is much faster than the other two methods. So if you need to create big XML files, the best solution is XMLWriter

This also works with Eclipse and I think it would also work with Netbeans, but haven’t tested it.

Im using Sharedaddy, and I will not install another extra plugin to support Google +1 and the Sharedaddy option to add a custom service is not prepared for dynamic services like this one. That’s because I looked to integrate the service into Sharedaddy avoiding to change to much the plugin.

Sharedaddy is Object Oriented, so its easy to create a new Sevice Class which extends Sharing_Advanced_Source. But to load your class, you need to change some files.

• sharing-sources.php

  To make it dynamic, I created an extra file called sharing-sources-custom.php and load this file from the original Sharedaddy sharing-sources.php:

  // Custom Sharing services
  require_once('sharing-sources-custom.php');
  

• sharing-services.php

  This file has an array with the current services and the class name for this service, here we must change directly the function to add our new class.

  private function get_all_services() {
  // Default services
  $services = array(
  ...
  'googleplusone' => 'Share_GooglePlusOne'
  );
  

This two changes are enought to get your new service working, if you want you can also add images and edit admin-sharing.css to have preview in your admin panel, but the Service will be working without this.

Here is the Code for the Share_GooglePlusOne class:

Here is a comparison of Redmine/ChiliProject and Trac features:

The first thing that made me not to test Redmine/ChiliProject immediately was that it is RoR and the complexity to make it run stable under apache, but after searching a bit, I found Phusion Passenger and Ruby Enterprise, which is a very good solution to run RoR products stable under Apache, and you have the ability to run Ruby with custom user, usefull for shared environments.

Installation

1. Ruby Enterprise

   I downloaded and installer from source code, so that it’s compiled for my server and I can store it in a specific location. So, the first we have to do is download latest version from Ruby Enterprise Download page

   wget http://rubyenterpriseedition.googlecode.com/files/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03.tar.gz
   tar zxvf ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03.tar.gz
   cd ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03
   ./installer

   Follow installer instructions, and install dependencies if needed (the installer tells us which packages we need for our Linux distro)

2. Phusion Passenger

   Next thing to do, is install the Passanger module for apache, this can be done with the passenger-install-apache2-module script available at Ruby Enterprise installation

   cd /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/bin
   ./passenger-install-apache2-module

   This script also checks the dependencies and says what packages you need for your Linux distro

3. Apache

   Now we need to configure apache, first we need to activate and configure the passenger module

   /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/passenger.load

   LoadModule passenger_module /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.7/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so

   /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/passenger.conf

   <ifmodule mod_passenger.c>
     PassengerRoot /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.7
     PassengerRuby /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/bin/ruby
    
     PassengerFriendlyErrorPages Off
     PassengerUserSwitching On
     PassengerDefaultUser www-data
     PassengerDefaultGroup www-data
   </ifmodule>

   And the last thing is configure a vhost under which we will run this ChiliProject installation

   /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/chiliproject

   NameVirtualHost *:443
   <virtualhost *:443>
   	SSLEngine on
    
   	SSLCertificateFile    /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
   	SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key
    
   	<ifmodule mod_passenger.c>
   		PassengerUser chiliproject
   		PassengerGroup chiliproject
   	</ifmodule>
    
           ServerAdmin webmaster@chiliproject.org
   	ServerName chiliproject.org
    
   	DocumentRoot /home/chiliproject/public
   	<directory />
   		Options -MultiViews
   		AllowOverride All
   	< /Directory>
    
   	ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/chiliproject-error.log
    
   	CustomLog /var/log/apache2/chiliproject-access.log combined
   </virtualhost>

4. ChiliProject

   First install needed gems

   /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/bin/gem install -v=0.4.2 i18n
   /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/bin/gem install -v=1.0.1 rack
   /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/bin/gem install mysql

   Download the last available ChiliProject version from ChiliProject Files Page

   wget https://www.chiliproject.org/attachments/download/99/chiliproject-1.4.0.tar.gz
   tar zxvf chiliproject-1.4.0.tar.gz
   mv chiliproject-1.4.0 /home/chiliproject

   Create the mysql database and user for ChiliProject

   CREATE DATABASE chiliproject CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
   GRANT ALL privileges ON chiliproject.* TO 'chiliproject'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'my_password';

   Configure ChiliProject Database Connection

   mv config/database.yml.example config/database.yml

   production:
     adapter: mysql
     database: chiliproject
     host: localhost
     username: chiliproject
     password: my_password

   Now initialize ChiliProject (session Store, DB Tables, DB Default Data

   /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/bin/rake generate_session_store
   RAILS_ENV=production /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/bin/rake db:migrate
   RAILS_ENV=production /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/bin/rake redmine:load_default_data

   And the last thing we need to do before we can restart apache and begin to use the new installed ChiliProject, we need to create the chiliproject user

   adduser --home /home/chiliproject --shell /bin/false --no-create-home chiliproject
   chown -R chiliproject:chiliproject /home/chiliproject

5. (Optinal) Rmagick

   If we would like to enable Gantt export to png image we need to install Rmagick (available as gem). First we need to install imagemagick ang graphicsmagick dev packages and then we can install the rmagick gem.

   apt-get install libmagickcore-dev libgraphicsmagick1-dev libmagickwand-dev
   /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/bin/gem install rmagick

Now we only need to restart Apache and load ChiliProject in our Browser. The default user is admin/admin

Memcached has Pages that have a size of 1Mb (in newer version you can configure them from 1Mb to 128Mb), these Pages are divided in Chunks. The size of the Chunks is created dynamically after start, depending on the size of the Objects you are saving. Memcached tries to save a Object in a Chunk were the basted space is minimal (An 49Kb Object will be saved in an 50Kb Chunk)

These behavior is ok, but it’s a Problem when you change the size of your Objects, because Memcached doesn’t recalculate the Chunk Size, he will use the Chunk Size that is available and because of that the available Memory will not used optimally.

An Example:

• We start Memcached and save 5-50Kb Objects, so the Chunks will take an Size of 5-50Kb and for bigger Objects there would be only one or two Pages available.
• We change our Objects and we want to save 500Kb Objects. Memcached only has for this Object size one or two Pages available, and therefore this big Objects will be soon Evicted, because we have Space for maximum 2x500Kb for each Page. That means if we have 2 Pages with 500Kb Chunks, we can save 4 500Kb Objects, but if we save a fifth element it will cause that the first Object we saved is Evicted.

This behavior will cause that the small and big Objects will be saved correctly in Memcached, but when we try to get the entry from cache, it could happen we only have the small Objects in cache and the big Objects are not available.

Here an example with 300 seconds lifetime:

Item count:  2
Chunk Size (max item size): 448.2 KBytes
Chunks Per Page (items per 1MB): 2
Pages Allocated: 1
Total Chunks (capacity): 2
Used Chunks (capacity): 2
Free Chunks (free capacity): 0
Evicted: 1172130
Age: 1 minute

Items: item
1968214dc63043688cf883c794c118ecc29e6
19682_039f86925e86b5a3da4cff58c252dff4

After 1 minute the Objects are not available and we have two new Objects:

Item count:  2
Chunk Size (max item size): 448.2 KBytes
Chunks Per Page (items per 1MB): 2
Pages Allocated: 1
Total Chunks (capacity): 2
Used Chunks (capacity): 2
Free Chunks (free capacity): 0
Evicted: 1172133
Age: 0 minutes

Items: item
19682_63de2d8620816234fd044ca48c0578bd
19682_f86a0ea59a264a397233232a20a080f4

Unfortunately it seems that the actual version 1.4.5 doesn’t have rebalancing implemented, so if you change your cache Object size you must restart your Memcached instance (a flush will not help you).

Here two Screenshots were we can appreciate this behavior.

Only small Objects:

After restart with small and big Objects:

• Statistics Tool with pages/chunk Detail:
• First version of memcache stats script based on memcache.php
• Memcached Pages/Chunk information:
• Evictions and memory setup for memcache
• MemCached Evictions

In Debian we have a package called spidermonkey-bin.

apt-get install spidermonkey-bin

After installing you will have a program called smjs.

If you start the program without parameters you will get a Javascript shell, in which you can write and test javascript.

$ /usr/bin/smjs
js> function test() {
print('test');
}
js> test
function test() {
    print("test");
}
js> test();
test
js> function test() {
print('test');
test2(123);
}
js> function test2(param) {
print ('test2: ' + param);
}
js> test();
test
test2: 123
js>

To exit the shell, just press “Ctrl+D“.

It’s important to note that in spidermonkey you doesn’t have the “document” Object. If you want to print out text, you cant use document.write, you should use print.

document.write('test'); // In browser
print('test'); //spidermonkey

You can also make smjs to execute the content of a file.

$ /usr/bin/smjs test-local.js
Rand: 407
Old: 600
New: 800
Result: old

First of all we need to install needed packages

apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi python-virtualenv python-setuptools

Once we have installed the required packages proceed to create the Python environment

mkdir /usr/local/trac
cd /usr/local/trac
virtualenv python

We now have the isolated Python environment locate under /usr/local/trac/python.

To make possible to use easy_install with repositories we need to upgrade easy_install. I use this to install Trac plugins directly from SVN.

/usr/local/trac/python/bin/easy_install -U trunk

We now can install trac 0.12 using the 0.12b1 SVN Tag (http://svn.edgewall.com/repos/trac/tags/trac-0.12b1 or Trac==0.12b1) or directly from SVN Trunk:

/usr/local/trac/python/bin/easy_install http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/trac/trunk

This will download and install the latest trunk version for Trac.

To have webaccess to the Trac projects, we need a .wsgi script, were we define where our local python environment is located:

# Not needed if mod_wsgi >= 3.0
import sys
sys.stdout = sys.stderr
 
# Load Trac
import trac.web.main
application = trac.web.main.dispatch_request

And finally we need to configure apache. If you want only one Trac project, you should define trac.env to the location of your trac, but if you want multiproject support, you must use trac.env_parent_dir (this is what I used)

<virtualhost *:80>
    ServerName trac.dns.com
 
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/trac/htdocs
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/trac-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/trac-access.log combined
 
    # Trac Auth
    <location />
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Trac"
        AuthUserFile /usr/local/trac/.htpasswd
        Require valid-user
    < /location>
 
    #Trac
    #Define ProcessGroup with user and group under which it should run
    WSGIDaemonProcess trac user=trac group=trac python-path=/usr/local/trac/python/lib/python2.5/site-packages python-eggs=/usr/local/trac/python/cache
    WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/local/trac/htdocs/trac.wsgi
 
    <directory /usr/local/trac/htdocs>
        WSGIProcessGroup trac
        WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
        SetEnv trac.env_parent_dir /usr/local/trac/projects
    </directory>
</virtualhost>

We need to create the user and change the permissions for /usr/local/trac for that user trac

adduser --home /usr/local/trac --shell /bin/false --no-create-home trac
chown -R trac:trac /usr/local/trac

If you get an error “ImportError: No module named simplejson” just install it using easy_install

/usr/local/trac/python/bin/easy_install simplejson

Netbeans is not perfect, and there are some features that need to be polished (Ex.: SVN Support, Time Tracking like Mylyn), but the PHP/HTML/CSS/JS Support is excellent, in my opinion better than the Eclipse PDF support.

These is my netbeans_default_options for Netbeans for MacOSX (under Windows you can leave out the –laf switch, it’s for changing the look and feel):

netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-Xmx512m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Xverify:none -J-XX:CompileThreshold=100 -XX:+CompressedOOPS -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+TieredCompilation -XX:+DoEscapeAnalysis -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -J-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -J-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true --laf javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel"

Some switches come from Netbeans Performance site.

• -J-Xss2m – Define Stack Size (Too small and you will get StackOverflow Exceptions)
• -J-Xms32m – This setting tells the Java virtual machine to set its initial heap size to 32 megabytes. By telling the JVM how much memory it should initially allocate for the heap, we save it growing the heap as NetBeans consumes more memory. This switch improves startup time
• -J-Xmx512m – This settings tells the Java virtual machine the maximum amount of memory it should use for the heap. Placing a hard upper limit on this number means that the Java process cannot consume more memory than physical RAM available. This limit can be raised on systems with more memory. Current default value is 128MB. Note: Do not set this value to near or greater than the amount of physical RAM in your system or it will cause severe swapping during runtime
• -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m – How much Heap can be added over the Xmx limit
• -J-Xverify:none – This switch turns off Java bytecode verification, making classloading faster, and eliminating the need for classes to be loaded during startup solely for the purposes of verification. This switch improves startup time, and there is no reason not to use it
• -J-XX:CompileThreshold=100 – This switch will make startup time slower, by HotSpot to compile many more methods down to native code sooner than it otherwise would. The reported result is snappier performance once the IDE is running, since more of the UI code will be compiled rather than interpreted. This value represents the number of times a method must be called before it will be compiled
• -XX:+CompressedOOPS – Activate Compressed “Ordinary Object Pointer”
• -XX:+AggressiveOpts – Turns on point performance optimizations that are expected to be on by default in upcoming releases
• -XX:+TieredCompilation – Activate Tiered Compiler
• -XX:+DoEscapeAnalysis – Activate Escape Analysis
• -J-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC or -J-XX:+UseParNewGC Try these switches if you are having problems with intrusive garbage collection pauses. This switch causes the JVM to use different algorithms for major garbage collection events (also for minor collections, if run on a multiprocessor workstation), ones which do not “stop the world” for the entire garbage collection process. You should also add the line -J-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled and -J-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled to your netbeans.conf file so that class unloading is enabled (it isn’t by default when using this collector)

For now the only implemented function is that you can login using only “user” and roundcube will authenticate against IMAP using the domain extracted from the webmail URL.

You can get download the plugin from the Vlogin sourceforge project page.
